Nasim's gameplan for SSM to beat FMJ:

play floyd at his own game .....

jab to the body constantly

double jab body , left hook body , straight right to head the step away

try and get some rounds in the bank

this will frustrate floyd as he will be expecting shane to go ape and come
forward aggressively

throw fast combos side to side force floyd to go upstairs
shanes chin will stand up

steal some rounds so floyd panics and has to fight
then shane can rumble down the stretch :thumbsup

 

As said above.
Impose your strength in the clinches since there will be alot.
Try to work on a quick jab to keep PBF at bay. I believe Mosley has the reach advantage here.
Work on the left hook to the body. It will be hard for him to land it on PBFs head.
Hit him during the clinches. Try to get him frustrated.
Dont be too active on the outside-midrange. As also said above. Alot of people have tried pointless aggression on PBF and all have failed(except Castillo). I really think Mosley needs to take his time.

 

There isn't a game plan, everyone says that Castillo showed the blue print, well it has never been duplicated. Mosley is going to have to be on point defensively and his reflexes are going to have to be the best they have been since he was a lightweight, if either one of those are off Mayweather is going to wipe the floor with him.

 

floyd loves his jab /check hook step to the left

he will do it all night to stay safe

as he does this shane needs to step right and counter

this fight will be all about crafty footwork and throwing just at the right time !!!!!!!!

 

Work the body body body. Both hands both sides. Up and down. Then the overhand right over the shoulder.

 

I don't like Mosley's chances a ton in this fight, his last fight was against a guy who would take shots to give shots, and before that was against Ricardo Mayorga a guy who hits hard and has average boxing skill, and before that was a loss to Cotto, and before that were against Luis Collazo, and before that were fights against Fernando Vargas.

Now if you look at those wins and the loss, the wins all came against average at best boxers(in terms of boxing skill) except for the win over Collazo, and the loss to Cotto came when Cotto really outdid him. And the win over Mayorga came when Mayorga might have won the fight if the judges had given him a round more than he should have. Mayweather is MUCH better than that competition, so a loss is likely.

Maybe 10 years ago this fight would have been better for Mosley against a Young Green Mayweather, but this time against a battle tested refreshed Mayweather it is going to be a struggle for him to win.

 

To be honest, if Nazim is having to resort to "setting traps" to try and get Mayweather to engage, it sounds like he's given up hope on Mosley being able to dictate the fight already.

Not promising.

 

It's not an "easy" gameplan, it's a simple one. That doesn't mean he will be able to do it.

Still, it's not "complicated", like "a jab-hook-uppercut combo from ducking under Mayweathers lead hand, then ...". Take away with what Mayweather usually expects and does to score rounds very easily, so he's out of his comfort zone - potshotting while playing defense. Just don't charge him and keep slightly out of distance, and he can't do it. Then do something yourself that scores you rounds, whether pretty or not. Then GO AWAY to not allow retaliating, which is for an odd reason something that so many fighters even in title fights forget.

When you land a good punch after working hard the entire round, and the other guy retaliates with TWO good punches because you rest and stand flat in the corner for the last 20 seconds, HE gets the round. Without doing much. So many fighters give away rounds, fights and titles by doing that, give away the round late by working too much early, being on the offense all the time, wasting power, and then letting the other guy retaliate easily because you don't go the **** away from him. Stupid hombre boxing.

 

Yeah the blueprint Castillo layed out was "Hurt Floyd's shoulder in training" and then pressure the **** out of a one armed fighter who you outweigh by 10lbs all night and still lose a decision.

I read above Mosley should step to the right and counter Floyds lead left hooks That move of Floyds is as "un-counterable" as a punch gets in this sport. He lands it and is already too close to you and outpositioning you, which is why he's able to push and move away.

Many people are saying Shane needs to fight defensive, beat Floyd at his own game.
1. Shane isn't a pure boxer, so he can't beat Floyd at his own game. Shane is a great fighter and he is great because he fights his own way and fight, same with any other great fighter. Once they are forced to take on a different style they lose some of there greatness. So 2 great fighters fighting, and one of them has to fight the other one's game, they are at a huge disadvantage.

2. Floyd holds the psychological edge here. He is world recognized as the "best pure boxer" in the sport. I don't care how confident a fighter like Shane is. If he goes in there trying to box him and even if the fight is even, him and everyone else is already biased to think that Floyd is winning the fight because it's going at HIS pace, and "how can he possibly be getting 'outboxed'" If this happens for a few rounds, it's Shane that will break and panic, not floyd. :deal

 

the corner comentary will be hilliarious on both sides ....

nazim - well done domination shane ur so fast u can see round the corner
bang the body and u'll swim without gettin wet !


roger - Uumm gumm fugmm ' get dat *****
keep all dat **** in the middle
dat mugga fugga cant out fight u
jab to the body
Uummm fmmm ughhh fugmm !

 

Shane just has to show up. He will use speed and strentgh to win. He will bully lil ***** Floyd and out muscle and throw him to the ropes like the ragDoll he is and keep him there. Shane will will let his core strentgh be known in the first clinch.

 

Floyd isn't a ***** dude. The guy is tough as nails. Becoming a "prima donna" at the end of your career doesn't mean you are a *****, it means you worked your ass of and now can enjoy the fruits of your labor

 

**** you.

 

In my defense I am calling him a ***** purely based on his personality. Not in ring skills or toughness.

 

"you breakin that ho down"
